Peter Cook’s Photo from his mountain bike in the Berkshires

in Fresh Birds, Poetry Tags: bees to match, by the balls, cacaphony, calm old-fashioned birds, can we work together or not?, denting windows, doves eat the tar, eat the screen, finch hang upside down, Fresh Birds, global warming, house wrens, knock each other off the feeder, porch, pushing, scolding, woodpecker of aluminum

can we work together or not?
Fresh Birds
global warming’s
got them by the balls
house wrens scold
when I enter the porch
a cacophony of four
chatter me away
from the nest
with four fresh babies
The gold finch tries
to eat the screen
thinks he’s a woodpecker
of aluminum
the doves peck
at the floor of the deck
eat the tar
the purple finch
hang upside down
on the feeder…
knock each other off…
fresh birds:
scolding, pushing, denting windows
.
where are the gentle birds?
perching, sharing, singing the mating song?
bring back the calm old-fashioned birds
with bees to match, bees to match.

my townhouse (ALF) has become an Assisted Living Facility or Rehab

my son sought relief in the A/C
from 104 degree temperatures
and symptoms of
Ehrlichiosis.

the grands
needed time with their i-pads
and chimichangas
from Mexican Radio.

We all enjoyed cool time
on the couch,
a rebounder,
toys at Nana’s house
Netflix
in a tick free house.
warming up for Independence Day!
